What Osimhen will cost United

While Napoli are said not to be willing to part company with Osimhen, fresh reports indicate the Italian giants would only listen to offers in the region of €150 million.

Il Mattino reports that Napoli chiefs, Aurelio De Laurentiis and Cristiano Giuntoli have resolved that the highly-rated striker will not leave for anything less than this price tag.

United's interest in Osimhen comes at a time the forward is enjoying the form of his life, having already scored 25 goals for Napoli in 29 appearances this season.

The Nigerian ace recently delved into the rumours linking him with a Man United move and said:

"At the end of the season, I will sit down with my agents and discuss everything. I will also be in talks with the club. I am incredibly grateful to Napoli. We will find a good solution together," he added.

Okocha wants Osimhen in EPL

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Super Eagles legend, Jay-Jay Okocha revealing he has been impressed with Osimhen's performances so far.

The striker is in brilliant form for Napoli in Serie A, where he is currently topping the Italian league's scoring table with 21 goals this season.

His brilliance in front of the goal has made him a target of many clubs in Europe, who are reportedly preparing to table offers in the summer.
